How many of you have been taught to live by the Golden Rule – to treat others they way you want to be treated? When does that work and do you even know when it fails you? In this workshop, you will learn a new concept called “the Platinum Rule”, where you will be given tools to understand yourself and others in a new way. Through this, you will find much more power in connecting with others with mutual authenticity on another level. The Platinum Rule creates communication bridges you never knew you lacked and allows you to develop more satisfying and successful relationships with your team, your clients, your friends and family, and even yourself.
